Hey guys just got through all that geez you can talk Ive been absent due to a very rough couple of days. Last night I came home to an empty house he had taken whatever he wanted and left So now its just me and Aiden but on a good note we got fluffy mail today it makes it all better
Wow, that's terrible RHYB - sounds like my worst nightmare - big hugs to you.

Did he take any of the really useful stuff e.g whitegoods? I hope not!

how are you feeling?



ALIOOPS - that's great news your parents are visiting at the time that suits you better.

SARAM - Adelaide is fine if you have money. Good times to visit are fesival times.
Sports fans like the Tour Downunder (international cycle race) in Jan, Clipsal 500 i think is in March (V8 streetcars).

Fringe festival, Festival of Arts, WOMAD are all great fun.

The Art Gallery of SA has a fantastic Colonial section, in the early days of colonies etc, SA had the wealth at that stage, so bought the art. Then the goldrush in Vic came along, and that changed! but the paintings stayed. If you like history and art, you'll enjoy seeing the Colonial art.

like every city, nice botanic gardens, zoo.

Haighs chocolate factory has daily tours on the edge of the CBD (they make chocolate BILBIES!!!!)

Warrawong Sanctuary at mylor is a 30 min drive, great for dawn and dusk walks (so you can see the nocturnal native animals).

If you have a car, it's more fun to visit the real wineries down south, like at McLaren Vale - the Barossa has some nice bits, but is a lot more touristy.

Adelaide is on the coast, a long n skinny city, so it's really north, city and south.

public transport is not that fab, but it does exist. It's best in the city and inner city area.

the organic baby shops IRL shops (that sell MCN) are at Brighton (southwest) and Rainbow Tree (east).
see, i managed to make it MCN related after all!

and if you visit, come to my place and use my laundry (and little squirt).
